X-E1 + 18-55

X-E1 has OLED, where as X100s has LCD in the EVF.  OLED has greater contrast.

When the 6 is engaged in flexible AF spot (with the orange square active), two things happen: 1. You cannot change aperture or shutter speed with the dial, 2. It uses a different AF algorithm and...

I think the Japanese used the wrong wording.  It should have been "discreet", not "silent".

I think X100s has slightly lower noise than X-E1 (maybe by 1/3 of a stop?) and the color response is also slightly different.  Just look at the reds and the greens.  The X100s images also look...

Just got this bit from the Joint PhotoImaging Enterprises Association International journal (March 18, 2013).  It is a paid subscription journal from Japan. Fujifilm has delayed the launch of...

Does it work?  Has anyone compared the same scene taken at f/5.6 and f/16?

Sigma 50mm f/1.4 is soft wide-open ONLY if the focus distance is close, nearly its closest focus distance limit.  If you put some distance to the subject, then it is very sharp wide-open. Some...

Brought my lens to Sony HK for firmware upgrade in Wed morning, got it back on this Fri morning.  Really quick turn around time.  PDAF is now enabled on my NEX-6.   Haven't done a lot of tests, but...

I'd go with SEL1018 and SEL18200LE.  You're covered from 10-200mm (15-300mm in 35mm terms).  The 10-18 is very sharp for landscape.  The 18-200 is also quite sharp and good enough for most street...

I found it to be the other way around.  My ACR processed images represent what the eyes saw at the time.  The DR100 images had crushed blacks. I'm using the new iMac 27", so the color, contrast and...

I've spoke to Fuji's product planning director and he told me the DR of X20 at DR100 is equivalent to DR150 of X10 (those were his words). So I'd think the X20 would be better in such high contrast...

Your choice right now would be the X-E1 with 18-55mm f/2.8-4 zoom lens.  Fast and silent AF, but not quite DSLR fast. The quality of this lens rivals the Nikon 17-55 f/2.8 AF-S. AF on mirrorless...

I've X-E1 and NEX-6.  Generally, I agree with this assessment, but I'd say Sony has more lens choices and some of the lenses are not so bad.  Case in point: 24 f/1.8, 35 f/1.8, 50 f/1.8, 10-18 f/4,...

Given all that non-stop cash backs with X-Pro1 plus the purchase of just one lens. X-Pro1's retail price has gone from $1699 to $1399 on B&H. I know from my source that the wholesale channel price...

I've both cameras.  NEX-6 has a more full featured firmware, faster and more accurate AF.  But high ISO noise on the NEX-6 is more digital, where X-E1 is more random like film.X-E1 has better OOC...

Somehow the X20 shots looked as if they have about 1/3EV less exposure than the X10.  Hence the skies were less blown out compared to the X10 shots (DR200/DR400).

I think the OP wants a 18-200 f/2.8-4 LM OIS lens that is high on image quality and light on weight. Yes, that would kill all the lenses in the roadmap, won't it?Even if the lenses overlap in focal...

Actually, I'm with you there.  I have high hopes that Fuji will bring out a major fw update on the X-Pro1.  Afterall, it is their flagship camera and it deserves all those focusing enhancements for...
